haha, a bloody nuclear reactor for PSU. Genius! Don't forget you would also need NASA's internet to top it all off!

Its supposed to be specs in my dreams....

I should be able to play CS or any first person shooter while flying my "Star Trek" Enterprise NX-ADR at warp 9.9 and calculating star charts so I do not smack into some planet or black hole without parents screaming "look at the power bills"

- Geforce Ti ot Ti-X cards with 16GB RAM (to me its the RAM or cache that really boost up the GPUs)

- RAM 16GB or 32GB (really depends but mobo would need to have spare RAM slots)

- RAID 1 SSDs or RAID 5 SSDs (useless to have speed and performance without redundancy)

- Chassis with Dual Power Supply (useless to have a rig then cannot power on as some $1 fuse blown somewhere)

- Chassis to be as small as possible....cold air in, hot air out....

I have to disagree, speed and performance without redundancy are fine in a gaming setup (or can be fine, depending on how pissed you are about reinstalling, for me its just OS, Steam and then let the downloads begin). You should absolutely have a backup of your files and folders no matter if you have a raid or not, so there is no risk of data loss.

Just recently upgraded to a 9600k (only i5 i know) but for gaming it does the job. Finally picked and nvme driver up an all and managed to pick up a cheap 1070 to sli my current card (1 single 1070 at 1440p cant get anywhere near the frames i want)
